Hundreds of University
at Buffalo alumni are expected to celebrate their alma mater Friday,
Sept. 19, during a function in Larkinville, Buffalo's eclectic and
historic entertainment district located at 745 Seneca St.

As part of the
celebration, UB President Satish K. Tripathi will deliver remarks, and alumni
will have an opportunity to visit UB engagement stations to learn about a
variety of volunteer opportunities. Members of the UB Bulls, cheerleaders and
marching band, as well as other UB representatives also will be on hand.

UB's all-alumni
celebrations have become an annual event, not only in Buffalo but also in
cities that include Washington, D.C., and New York City.

"Our university has so
much to celebrate, and we're holding these events to share the excitement with
our alumni and thank them for supporting UB," said Carol Gloff, Class of 1975,
president of the UB Alumni Association.

The iconic Larkinville
venue has become a tradition, said Larry Zielinski (MBA '77, BA '75), interim
executive director of the office of alumni engagement.

"The choice of venue -
Larkinville - demonstrates UB's support of Buffalo's renaissance," he said. "With
our new medical school so nearby, we're thrilled to be part of our region's
success."

The event begins at 6:30 p.m., with remarks slated for 7:30 p.m.
Cost of the event is $10.
